Excellent but very scary discussion. I've read the Biden/Harris statements which make it sound as if the assassination of Sinwar will change everything. I can't help but be skeptical. One has to wonder if the assassination of Netanyahu would stop Israel from its present course. Why does anyone think the psychology of losing a leader would be different for Hamas as opposed to Israel?

It is a brutal irony that after killing 42,000 Palestinians in search of Sinwar, his killing was, well, pretty much accidental. And I fear the creation of a martyr, much though he probably deserved to be brought to justice. I'm not sure offing him is my concept of justice; I'd rather he had been tried and convicted.
